Hi all,

I read in my SAMS SQL book that you can copy a table using

CREATE TABLE <tablename> AS ...

Is this right, because i just can't seem to get it to work on my MS SQL Server 2000??

- Or does anyone know a way of copying a table into a new one? data and structure?

;) Danny

Hi

You can go :

SELECT *
INTO NewTableName
FROM OldTableName

and it will do what you want.
